Thinking about it, I have lost count on how many times I’ve recommended Abercrombie’s First Law series to readers around the world it is one of my favorite series and I truly believe Abercrombie has achieved something special for the genre. The Blade Itself is Joe Abercrombie’s debut, the first book in The First Law trilogy, a series that has inspired so many books in the current market. Picture: The Blade Itself by Alexander Preuss Seeing that Abercrombie’s newest novel in the world of First Law is coming out in a month, I figured it’s about time for me to actually refresh my memory and check whether it was my nostalgia goggles playing trick on me it wasn’t, I actually loved my reread experience more than my first read. I’ve read many grimdark novels since then, and it’s baffling that I haven’t encountered many grimdark characters with characterizations level as high as Abercrombie. I haven’t read A Song of Ice and Fire back then, fans of Game of Thrones weren’t so divisive in their opinion yet too, but suffice to say I was surprised that I got what I was looking for in this series, and more.
